Indian Stock Market Wrap: Sensex Surges 1,225 Points as FMCG and Financials Drive Nifty Past 23,800
Indian benchmark equity indices extended their winning streak on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, delivering another explosive bull session post-market close. Anchored by strong buying across FMCG, real estate, and financial heavyweights, Dalal Street shrugged off weakness in energy and metals to push headline benchmarks to fresh local highs. Easing international crude oil prices and renewed Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) net inflows further fueled investor optimism.
At the closing bell, the BSE Sensex surged 1,225.07 points (+1.62%) to finish at 76,917.85. Simultaneously, the NSE Nifty 50 rallied 370.05 points (+1.58%) to close firmly at 23,810.85, reclaiming the 23,800 milestone with ease. Broader markets joined the rally, as real estate and consumer discretionary counters led broad-based accumulation.
